Ann Wanjiku

Hi, I am Annie (she/her). I am passionate about software development, women empowerment – especially through tech, promoting tech literacy and social justice. I seek opportunities which combine the world of software development, innovative thinking, women and social justice.

I am a ‘Jane’ of all trades:

As a full-stack software developer with passion for building high quality software, I bring a deep understanding of both front and back-end development. My experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6, ReactJS, NodeJS, Angular) and various web frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Flask and Django, combined with knowledge of database management & cloud computing, enable me to create robust, scalable applications which meet the needs of end-users and businesses. I have a track record of collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver on-time within-budget projects. As a developer, I am committed to staying up-to-date and continuous learning of technologies and latest industry trends. My dedication to quality and strong problem-solving skills, make me confident that I can make a valuable contribution 

In social justice, I regularly volunteer as a rataractor to mentor young girls in matters woman, career development and girls in the tech space. Together with fellow rotaractors, we raise funds and participate in community service and charity projects.
